Ubisoft, another mobile publisher who we regularly cover, has recently announced that Driver Speedboat Paradise, a free-to-play speedboat arcade-racer, will be available worldwide on iOS and Android sometime next month. Unlike other speedboat games, Driver Speedboat Paradise takes a different perspective on the mobile arcade racing experience by using a true-to-life water and dynamic wave system. In the game, players take the role as a reckless powerboat driver who is on a quest for success that’s persuaded by John Tanner (an in-game character) to do a mission that’s set to take down the mafia.

As gamers progress through Driver Speedboat Paradise, they’ll take control of the powerful speedboats, dodge waves, and perform stunts on ramps. From there they can master the art of water drifting, and acquire power ups to give their boat an extra advantage. Lastly, players can earn new upgrades, collect parts to customize their favorite speedboats, and much more once they complete enough races.

As of now this is all the information we have available, however, we’ll be sure to keep you updated as time goes on. Continue reading this post ->
